This is normal for HRD. Especially the free. I can't vouch for the newest versions that require purchase. The then developers of HRD were notified of this and the intent was to separate its operation from the the main portion of HRD. They never had a chance prior to its being sold.
Again, I can't vouch for the newest bought version. Hence, the reason you see most people using SatPC32, and others. I have noticed this problem on every version of Windows I have run, from ME to Windows 8 including different machine speeds and types.

I am running the free version of HRD and of late have been experiencing a strange problem. The program runs but initializes extremely slowly. It takes at least 4 minutes to begin working. I am just using the satellite tracking portion of the software. The machine here runs Windows8.1 with all the updates. There isn't a virus or spyware problem according to my diagnostic software. All other programs perform normally. I have made sure that no other extraneous programs are running. Can anyone shed light on this unusual situation?
